I can't say whether or not that was why you were brought here--but if you have this opportunity, why not seize it with your own two hands and see where it takes you?
[Now that Metal can see Sonic's face, even slightly--he can likely see how proud Sonic looks. The look on his face is still full of that determination, but he's smiling, and he looks so absolutely proud of what Neo has become. What Neo has decided to seize with his own two hands, and take for himself with no one else's input.
No longer is he Eggman's pawn. No longer will he be Eggman's pawn. Neo's decisions are his own to make, and Sonic doesn't know why he's almost tempted to kiss Neo again for that. That was something that caused this mess in the first place, maybe he should avoid giving Neo any more crises to worry about??? ...No, he knows that's impossible deep down, but Sonic at least doesn't add that on top of what's going on. Be thankful.]
I'm not gonna go and die a second before you get that opportunity. 'Course, I'm not just gonna give it to you outright because of this--if you wanna take my life, you're gonna have to work hard to make sure you can keep up with me to do it! But I don't think that's gonna be a problem for you at all. I'll keep beating you down as long as I'm able to, long as you keep pushing me to go even harder!
Take that freedom and run with it, where ever it takes you. You're not anyone's but your own, Neo, and I'm so proud of you.
[His grip remains firm on Neo's shoulder, supportive despite everything. All of his friends have tried to kill him once--what's one more for the pile??? Neo's life is his own to lead, and his own to seize, with his own purpose to find now.
2/2

Maybe that is the reason he was brought here.]
